Reducing prolonged sitting time in adults [ 2015 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Genevieve Healy (Principal investigator)

Brief description Preventive messages and guidelines to reduce sitting — especially prolonged periods of sitting — have emerged. However, what prolonged sitting should be replaced with, and the feasibility of making real world changes to this behaviour, is unknown. This program of research will provide high quality evidence on the benefits of reducing prolonged sitting time, and the effectiveness and acceptability of achieving sitting reductions in real-world contexts.
